Hi Tobi,
I just got confused by the "initially" in
"Within the body of a stylesheet function, the focus is initially
undefined"
which seemed to imply the possibility of setting the focus/context,
possibly to that of the function call.
Possibly it's referring to the fact that the focus can be set within a
particular variable declaration. For example, the function might
contain:
<xsl:variable name="path">
<xsl:for-each select="$context/ancestor-or-self::*">
<xsl:text>/</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="local-name()" />
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>
Within the <xsl:for-each> the focus would be defined as usual and the
local-name() function can be used without an explicit argument.
Cheers,
Jeni
